An exciting novel for tweens that captures the dawn of the American
Revolution. Life is tough for thirteen-year-old Nathaniel Dunn, an
indentured servant in colonial Virginia. Then in a twist of luck,
he meets Basil, a kind schoolmaster, and an arrangement is struck
lending Nathaniel's labor to a Williamsburg carriage maker. Basil
introduces Nathaniel to music, books, and philosophies that open
his mind to new attitudes about equality. The year is 1775, and as
colonists voice their rage over England's taxation, Patrick Henry's
words give me liberty, or give me death become the sounding call
for action. Should Nathaniel and Basil join the fight? What is the
meaning of liberty in a country reliant on indentured servants and
slaves? Nathaniel must face the puzzling choices a dawning nation
lays before him. "Filled with action, well-drawn characters, and a
sympathetic understanding of many points of view." --ALA Booklist
